Rancho San Diego 7-Eleven robbed

RANCHO SAN DIEGO  A robber in a shiny red mask held up a 7-Eleven store in Rancho San Diego early Saturday, sheriff’s officials said.

The masked gunman walked into the store on Jamacha Road near Chase Avenue and demanded money. The clerk ran to a back room, locked the door and called 911 about 1:40 a.m., sheriff’s Lt. Dave Brown said.

The clerk got only a brief look at the robber and could give only a vague description of him. He wore a black hooded jacket and the mask.
